Everything Ulster - Election 2005

The Electoral Commission have said polling has so far been "slow and steady" all day, but that they're expecting a big rush over dinner time. Indeed the electoral officer in my own polling station in south Belfast just shrugged and said "steadyish" when I asked if they'd been busy and there were only a couple of other voters about.

If turnout does stay low, Burnside, McGimpsey and Trimble are more likely to lose out than their DUP counterparts. Remember, if you don't vote - you can't complain so get out there!
